Namibia

IntraHealth has been working in Namibia since 2006 to reduce the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS by building the capacity of local faith-based and nongovernmental organizations to provide high-quality prevention, treatment, and care services.

These partners are now providing antiretroviral therapy to nearly 15,000 adults and children, as well as improving opportunities for Namibians to know their HIV status through counseling and testing services at health facilities and in communities. The organizations are also strengthening their capacity to provide age-appropriate HIV/AIDS prevention programs and referrals, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV services, and treatment of tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections.

IntraHealth is also assisting the Namibian government to better manage its health workforce through implementation of a human resources information system, and to develop and support more social workers for the country’s orphans and vulnerable children.
